 Subject: Need body to move 1/2" back!!!
IP: Logged
Message:
I am doing a 3" body lift and I have one problem. I have all of the cab bolts w/ the spacers installed except for one. The bolt's hole is a half an inch off and I am trying to figure out what I can do to move it back. Any ideas?

As with a lot of assembling of parts, sometimes you have to not tighten anything up until all bolts are in. Loose fit allows play and you can most often get everything in. I've run across this many times, last in putting together a table saw base. Some bolts wouldn't fit through all holes until I loosened them all up and then they did. then I tightened them all up and everything was coppastetic.

Yep. Rule number 1 of assembly: Get all the attaching hardware inserted/started before you tighten anything.

I got the cab back into the correct spot using a rachet puller and used a chain to rap around a tree. Then I attached a tow rope to the thickest body support beam and put that baby in its place. thanks ya'll
